Not your average writers' group...
​
Wild Hearted™ is a supportive, playful, and provocative writer’s space where we free ourselves from personal critique and allow our innate gifts to shine. ​​​​
Wild Hearted™ is not about grammar or technique, but rather a creativity incubator designed to unlock inspiration, and support you in sharing your work in the world. The groups are open to all levels- newbies, authors, and everyone in between.
​
Through a process of breathwork, prompts, writing, and receiving uplifting feedback, we build our self-confidence and foster intimacy. The group is a fertile environment for all to grow both as writers and people. Join us! Your first class is FREE.​​
“The writer by nature is a dreamer - a conscious dreamer."
-Carson McCullers
How does it work?
Once a week for eight weeks, we will gather in person or on Zoom. Through creative prompts and lots of loving and joyous support, together, we will move through resistance and express our inner lives with the pen.​
​
We don't focus on grammar or technique. Instead, we celebrate your unique journey, and the value your work brings.
"I really appreciated what a safe space you created."
After your group, I decided to take my desire to write a screenplay seriously. Over the summer, I submitted my script to the Austin Film Festival screenwriting competition. Of 11,500 submissions, I made it to the second round. Which I consider an accomplishment.
But, what I’m most grateful for are people like you, who know what a vulnerable thing it is to share your work, and set out to honor, support and facilitate that sacred experience.

FAQS
But, I’m not a writer, can I still join?
Astrid, one of our long-time members, confidently declared on our first day of class, “I just want you all to know I am not a writer!” Well, it did not take long to discover we had a very talented writer in our midst. Her work is featured throughout the new book: “Wild Hearted - Life, Love, and Liberation.”
What if I don’t like what I have written? Do I still have to read it out loud?
Introducing the "Suck Pass"... if you aren’t feeling great about your words, you can ask for a “Suck Pass.” You still read, but we all acknowledge your doubts and hesitation with kindness and humor.
Check out our book!
We wrote a book! Wild Hearted is an intimate and provocative collection of works from our members. The stories are defined by their authenticity, rawness, and open-hearted courage. The writers dive deeply into themes of love, loss, God, shame, adventure, joy, hope, and redemption.
